Ike Reilly and his band The Assassination to head out <\/strong>on annual St. Patrick\u2019s Day Massacre Tour in March<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rebel rocker and raconteur Ike Reilly is set to hit the road for select Midwest tour dates in March (see tour schedule below). The New York Times<\/em> has praised Reilly\u2019s music and live shows, writing: \u201cIke Reilly is a kind of natural resource, mined from the bedrock of music. All the values that make rock important to people\u2014storytelling, melody, rage, laughter\u2014are part and parcel of every Ike Reilly show I have ever seen. One of the best touring acts in the country, Reilly\u2019s band takes it as a personal challenge to upend and amaze every room they play in.\u201d With sets that are replete with true stories, tall tales, and bonhomie, Reilly will be performing this string of shows \u2013 dubbed the St. Patrick\u2019s Day Massacre Tour (the fifth annual outing under this moniker) \u2013 with his full band, The Assassination. The Chicago show, being held on St. Patrick\u2019s Day, is part of the Lincoln Hall\/Schuba\u2019s 30\/10 Anniversary Series. Opening on all of the dates, and joining Ike and Co. on stage, will be Brendan O\u2019Shea. Reilly plans to play songs from his full catalog with emphasis on 2018\u2019s Crooked Love<\/em>, which made many \u201cbest of 2018\u201d lists, including the No Depression<\/em> Reader\u2019s Poll.<\/p>\n

About Ike Reilly:<\/strong>
\nChicago, IL-based indie rock singer-songwriter Ike Reilly released his seventh studio album, Crooked Love<\/em>, in 2018 via Rock Ridge Music. Since his major label debut, the groundbreaking Salesmen and Racists<\/em>, Reilly has been making punk\/folk\/blues influenced rock \u2019n\u2019 roll records that lean heavily on stories of outsiders with keen details and broad strokes that insinuate a crack in the American dream. Press praise for Reilly\u2019s music has been extensive over the years. Chicago Magazine<\/em> lauded Reilly\u2019s \u201coutlandish storytelling, underdog combativeness, and slapstick humor.\u201d Minneapolis City Pages<\/em> said, \u201cEqual parts punk rocker, poet, and blue-collar barfly, Reilly’s stories are as bizarre and filthy and honest and pure as the people who come out to his shows. His songs reach out and grab people, shake them by the collars, make them jump up and down.\u201d Chicago Tribune<\/em> admired that Ike \u201cmerges his affinity for folk-punk narrative and anthemic guitar chords with hip-hop\u2019s vocal cadences and rhythmic drive.\u201d PopMatters.com<\/em> called him \u201cthe best songwriter in America\u2026 Hilarious, unsettling, raw\u2026 but mostly just rocking.\u201d USA Today<\/em> hailed Reilly as \u201cnever less than original\u2026 ferociously intelligent\u2026 always worth listening to.\u201d And Los Angeles Times<\/em> described Reilly\u2019s music as \u201c\u2026barroom rock narrated by a wiseguy who\u2019s as comfortable regaling PhDs and poets as he is pimps and porn stars.\u201d<\/p>\n
